Cartoon Network announced plans Monday that The Powerpuff Girls will return to TV in 2016 with all-new episodes. The original series ran from 1998 to 2005.

"We are calling these girls back into action based upon an overwhelming demand for sugar, spice and Chemical X," Rob Sorcher, chief content officer of Cartoon Network, said in a statement released by the network.

In the show's plot, Professor Utonium used those three ingredients to create the female superheroes. The trio use their powers to fight crime and protect their town.

The popular series won two Emmy Awards during the original 78-episode run and led to a feature film, a 10th anniversary special and a recent 2014 special featuring Ringo Starr.

Retail sales of branded products also brought in $2.5 billion since the show began.
